Can anyone comment on the success of Investorlift.com for getting wholesale deals sold?  Is the service worth it to a wholesaler who may do 1 or 2 deals a month, or only if you are doing 5-10 deals or more a month?  Can anyone clarify or share their experience after signing up and giving it a test drive? Are there hedgefunds or big buyers on this recipient list?  Is it good if you are wholesaling in multiple states, or just a few major markets like NY and LA?  Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the terrific feedback Gretchen!  That's why I was thinking of a two-car garage in the backyard that has a roof-top deck (similar to the photo example) that would be a cool place to hang out if it had a great lake view that the ground just doesn't have.  But, if not view, I think you are correct that I should go with the one-car garage and add the landscaped patio and firepit to a bigger backyard.  Gotta have a firepit!!!

Hi Shlomo,  Thank you for the feedback.  Great ideas... much appreciated!

Thanks for the feedback Evan... much appreciated!  This home is located in a community on a Lake.  So, more storage for boats, kayaks, bikes might be more useful, but maybe that just means there should be more storage space created in a one-car garage, and not necessarily a two-car garage.  Backyard is not huge so having larger backyard may be more valuable.  I guess I might decide to go with a two-car detached garage in the backyard IF a roof-top deck has a great view of the lake.  If there is no view opportunity on that roof because of trees and other houses, I will probably lean towards a one-car garage with extra space for storage, and keep the backyard space free.  Still puzzled! 

I am remodeling a property I recently bought and am interested to know what everyone thinks about the property value impact of building a one-car detached garage on the side of a small 2/1 house vs. a two-car garage in the backyard. 

A one-car side of house garage would fill in unused space on the side of the house and leave a much bigger backyard.

A two-car backyard garage would obviously hold two cars and/or more storage but would cut up a lot of backyard space and make the space on the side of the house useable only as a longer driveway.

Any thoughts on which might be better/worse for property value would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Mike, I had an Ohio attorney give me comments on video about inherited properties and the probate process in Ohio and what heirs can do when they want to sell the house. There have been many changes to the probate law by the Ohio Legislature in the last 10 years that have changed the process, allowing many family homes to escape the probate process. The video is a comprehensive and quick summary to help with the understanding of how to sell a probate property in Ohio, featuring Hank Schaefer, Probate Attorney of Groth & Associates, Attorneys at Law based in Toledo, Ohio. You can contact me and I'll send you the link to the video if you are interested.  Thanks!

Thanks for your post.  Can you share your questionnaire that you have customers fill out about their experience? Or can you recommend a good one by someone else? Thanks for your consideration?

I never pursued working with this company.  Found a better one.  Thanks!

Thanks Tim... I will!

Thanks to you as well Isaac!
